Condition
First edition. Philosophical tale about theosophy, alchemy, 18th century science developments, and Freemasonry. We discuss philosophical and scientific theories, with references to Mesmer, to Blanchard flights, but also to Paracelso, Agrippa, Swedenborg. Di grande interesse gli accenni a Spallanzani, che scoprì l’inseminazione artificiale: Douthwaite nota che la scoperta di Spallanzani ispira all’autore idee sulla procreazione programmata che anticipano l’eugenismo del Brave New World d’Aldous Huxley. Julia V. Douthwaite, The Frankenstein of 1790 and Other Lost Chapters from Revolutionary France, 2012. The lot is offered with a valid export license.
